PlateCulture is a sharing economy platform that enables guests to dine at a local host's home. The site was founded by Lithuanian entrepreneurs Reda Stare and Edvinas Bartkus. It launched in 2013 with a focus on tourists and locals in Southeast Asia.[1][2][3][4]
It currently offers two mobile apps for Android[5] and iPhone[6] users as well as web-based platform.
PlateCulture allows hosts to list their kitchens through the site and guests to make bookings to dine at a host's home restaurant. Both parties leave a review about their experience.[7] In November 2015, the BBC noted the platform's positive impact on language learning opportunities between locals and travellers.[8]
In September 2015, VICE journalist Lauren Razavi described PlateCulture as "an Asian startup that's essentially the Airbnb of food" in a feature story profiling a Persian chef who runs a home restaurant in Kuala Lumpur through the platform.[9]

Transcription
Streak-Plate Method: Streak plate method is a pure culture technique which helps in isolating desired colonies from contaminants. The procedure begins by sterilizing a wire loop in flame. Cool the sterilized loop by allowing it to stand for a few seconds. Dip the loop into a sample containing a mixture of bacteria. Depending on the sample, the loop may pick up hundreds or thousands of bacteria, which are spread back and forth across the surface of the agar. Make a uniform smear with the inoculum at the edge of the plate. Sterilise the loop as mentioned above, and make streaks from the smear. Since there is thinning of inoculum during streaking, isolated colonies are formed at ideal streak point where the spreading has separated the individual (or group) of cells at locations where they can form individual colonies The pattern of streaking varies with different type of streak plate techniques, for e.g. Quadrant streak, T-streak etc. During the incubation, the bacteria multiply and produce colonies. Intermittent flaming of the loop can be done during streaking to reduce the load of the organism so that there is a better chance of getting isolated colonies. Keep the plate covered as much as possible to avoid contamination While streaking a section of the plate, try to keep the inoculating loop in contact with the surface of the agar at all times.
